IDOLiSH7

On her first day of work at her father's small production agency, Tsumugi Takanashi was not expecting to be made the manager of the agency's new male idol group. Though shocked that her father is trusting her with such a major project so soon, Tsumugi vows to do everything she can to support the seven young boys. After seeing how well the boys work as a team, Tsumugi meets with her father and learns that her first job as manager will be to cut four boys from the group. This is because her father believes seven idols are too much to manage, and the current top group, TRIGGER, only has three members.

After holding an impromptu audition, Tsumugi returns to her father and boldly declares that she refuses to cut anyone from the group, as each member has a unique allure which collectively enhances the group's appeal. She returns to the boys and they are thrilled that none of them will get to miss out on their dreams. Together they become IDOLiSH7, and prepare to take on the fiercely competitive world of idols.

idolish7!!!💯💯💯
First, I thought there is nothing but only music in this anime.But idolish7 has a good plot and stories in every episodes.The main fact is that, there is not any specific story, but each episode's stories are well made (like Gintama). Every character has their background story and really they are worthy. Also this show has enough power to make you feel sad, energetic, inspired and so on. Some scenes have comedy too. There are also competitions which is boundless to keep your eyes open to watch every episode of Idolish7.

it’s must watch and 10/10 if you love music! All the characters are well made ... and too handsome! 🥰 art style, sound, music everything I love so much! You can watch it any time, any where. it’s fresh and dramatic too. Here is no fan service either. it’s just perfect!
Actually all the character's appearance caught me most.

Now it’s up to you to watch this overwhelmed show and decide whether it’s good or bad for you. Just give it a try. You will be addicted to watch this anime if you are a female.
The story: 10/10
Characters:10/10
Art Style: 10/10
Emotions :10/10
Sound and music: 10/10
Overall:10/10

Mixed Feelings

Well, that was certainly better than expected. While I can't say that the first impression of many was wrong - another anime for female audience with focus on bishounens, it's better than most of similar titles. There isn't too much focus on a fanservice and as a pleasant surprise it does actually have a story. Not a story I would call great, but certainly not a story I would call bad either.

The characters indeed have personalities beyond just being a pretty face, so right from the start there's one of the biggest flaws of bishounen-focused anime gone. Considering that even I who's not even close ... to the target audience enjoyed this series to an extent, I'd say it did a pretty good job within its genre.

The animation isn't exactly unique and it's visually the weakest work by TROYCA so far. That said it's still an okay animation without any jarring defects or mistakes.

I can't say much about the music - if I heard only the sound, I wouldn't be able to distinguish it from other jpop boy bands. It didn't make me cringe so that's good enough for me as it's not my preferred genre. Fans of boybands will most likely enjoy the songs.

Overall, if you like male idols, there is a high chance you will like this anime. If you don't, you might give this a try anyway, keeping at least with the three episodes rule. While you might not love it, it might still turn out to be not so bad.

As someone who loves music and followed irl idols this is disaster

I only like trigger and zool thats real idols musician groups

Not only the design of 7 rainbow group was so bad hair design, face focus their outfits also ugly n disaster on stage

Everytime i put normal speed to enjoy the damn music or dance discography suddenly the music stop and it switched to drama

Hell what is this music theme or delinquent theme or talking no jùtsu theme

... At least play the damn music properly not switched the camera to other situations smh this is why i dont like idols anime

I dont start watching 2018-2020 bcs im still busy enjoying irls idols comeback n concert

The only thing that saved this show was trigger design, outfits, dance and their songs

I also enjoyed trigger albums song the most on spotify great vocals lyrics n theme, i7 is just too bubblish idols theme they dont exist liked much n not popular songs if they did join reality idols groups, the song also not catchy n my taste when i check out their albums

6/10 just bcs trigger exist the main group is so cringe

I started watching this sept 2021 1 eps find it cringe stop continue back april 2024 😌
took me 2years 7 months to finish
